WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The document creates a framework for the collaboration between the two agencies on crimes related to international money laundering, international asset recovery, and Ukrainian high-level official bribery and corruption, the release added.

"On June 29, 2016, Acting Deputy Assistant Director Mathew S. Moon of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Director Artem Sytnyk of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen existing cooperation between the agencies as they pursue anti-corruption initiatives," the release said.

In April, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk as well as five other ministers decided to resign amid the crisis in the country’s economic development and pervasive government corruption.

Following the statement, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko reassured the international community of Kiev’s commitment to reform and anti-corruption measures.

Ukraine’s wide range of reforms, including anti-corruption measures, improving public finance management, power decentralization and the reorganization of the national energy sector, are required to release the latest bailout package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
